that sneaky bastard (major rework soon)

ign : SneakyBlackFox
ive played with Loki for a while (a little more now) and have been experimenting with what works and found these to be a pretty okay set for 3v3

I also haven't seen a lot of guides for joust Loki and if i did it just went over the items and skills. Keep in mind this is my first guide and will be really bad but it might give you an idea or two.

Read this before the guide please

i am working on a major rework on this guide, since i wrote this guide when i was only mastery 4 or 5 and thought i was good (like every other Loki main). Now it has been 2 and a half months since then and have gotten mastery 9 on him and would like to update this so I can share my knowledge even tough i don't consider myself a good Loki player anymore.

Update will include

full guides for different types of builds on from joust to conquest to arena
fighting scenario's so you can learn what to do and how to do them
different team combinations and different types of Loki combo's( yes he has more than 2

I can't give an exact time when it will be fully updated to everyone as i don't have a lot of time to work on this but hey... i gotta get that mastery 10 =D (thanks to nanoyam for creating the guide on how to write guides and giving inspiration to full work on this guide).

Pros
Great escape
very good at farming and taking camps
Can tower dive for a kill if careful
can recover from a bad early game

Cons
is very easily killable
very weak early game
hated by almost everyone,even your team unless your a high mastery

in joust, Loki plays the same as every other game mode, you sneak around, poke them, and then run out. Usually using your 1 to get close to the enemy then poping your 3 right as you get behind them and starting to attack. You can either straight out attack them if your close and then use your ult to get away if the whole enemy team is there, or use your ult to get an almost guaranteed kill.
Loki is pretty easy to learn but it may take a litte bit untill you understand how to be carefull.

I tend to see a lot of new Loki's try to get every little kill they can even if they will die after

Core Items

Transcendence will help you with mana witch is good early on.

warrior tabi is just good for melee classes, as it gives movement speed and P.power

Jotunn's Wrath is also a good item for Loki as it not only gives him some mana as well, but gives him a 20% cooldown reduction is is good for speeding up your ult


Optional

Titans bane can be useful if the other team has a lot of P.defense because it makes all of your physical attack have 33%% physical penetration.

Deathbringer can be good with its increased critical chance and damage. not really much to say since its actually a kind of good item

Rage is a really good item paired with deathbringer, since rage will make almost every other hit a critical, however titans bane and rage can also be good since you get more base damage and its not left up to luck.

brawlers stick gives you that extra penetration and if your playing conquest you can get the crusher instead to help you split push

Either way any of these 3 items are great and just depends on what the enemy team is. Keep in mind I didn't put any defensive items on here because the way I play him is to try and kill everyone in 2 or 3 hits and run, as of a defensive item taking up a slot would mean I wont kill them as fast and might even take more damage sometimes. If you really want a defensive item you go ahead, i can see why they would be useful but I really havn't had any need for one.

Vanish, lets you turn invisible as well as remove and prevent slow effects for its duration. you can use this to sneak up on your enemy or use it then run in the opposite direction of the enemy to try and escape

Decoy, sends a little copy of yourself and any minion or jungle monster will attack it instead of anything else, after awhile it will explode dealing damage to anything in its radius. this is good for distracting minions or jungle monsters early on so you don't get hit

aimed strike, adds a buff for 5 seconds at which your next attack will deal bonus damage depending on its level, plus a base 100% of your physical power added on to that. Usually you will use this before going into battle but be careful, it makes a super loud noise. So if you are near the enemy and they hear it, they will try to run, butt...

assassinate, dear god this skill. it lets you jump right to the ground hes looking at, however if its at an enemy god he will hit them dealing damage and stunning them for 1 second, you can use this to approach from far away, use this to catch an enemy running, or even as an escape tool

his passive lets him deal bonus damage when attacking from the behind, so just try to do that k ;)
